Even though IeSF has successfully held its World Championships since 2009, CS:GO only made its debut at the 8th World Championships - Jakarta in 2016.

Needless to say the competition was fierce, South Africa found itself in a group of 'death', but the brave Protea eSports Team soldiered on and gave of their best to win the hearts of all the nations present.

However the gold was taken by Finland (ENCE eSports), silver China, and bronze was taken by South Korea. According to IeSF officials, the CS:GO games recorded the highest viewership figures out of all the games played.

MSSA is confident that it will be able to put a squad together for 2017 that will be able to successfully challenge the other nations.

Already MSSA's Ladders, Rankings, and championship results show an ever improving level of competitiveness and skill.
